Dont see why. Bigger club, he's from here, chance to play for one of the worlds most decorated managers. Will get games as next years schedule will be hectic

He'll forever be cover until Digne is sold, He might play the odd game but we sold him cause he wants to play and I doubt he'll come here again just to do the same again, He'll have a much bigger chance of more game time at Sheffield/Fulham than us.

Fair enough, so behind Baines and Digne. If he was any good surely we should have backed him at the time and released an aging Baines?

According to an interview, he was told that we didn’t want to have Jags and Baines leave at the same time because we wanted to retain some experience, so with Jags already off Baines had to stay, which in turn limited his chances and he decided to move on

With Baines gone a slot has opened up again and he’s played regularly. He’s also been linked to AC Milan in the meantime

From how I read his interview, he could deal with being on the bench as the back up, but third in line wasn’t enough for him, so he moved

Well guess being back up is better than being behind Digne and Baines, I have no problem signing him I'm just assuming he wouldn't come here to do it again but you never know.

Don't see any logic in him coming back. Neither for us or for him.

 

[Tigger]

Baines at 40 is better than most.

I'm sure he could do a better job than Siggy trying to run a midfield too.

Judas rat.

 

[Eggs]

....quite surprised he left, I wondered if he might be promoted to Digne’s deputy rather than give Baines a contract extension.

Regardless, the decision was made to move him on with a sell-on clause and I can’t see him coming back now that he’s in demand and got a taste for first team football.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Would hope Brands isn't prepared to lash any more than about 34m on him

If he goes to Sheffield United or Fulham he wont start either more then likely

So he wasn't good enough to challenge a 64 year old Leighton Baines for a spot on the bench a season ago but now he's worth bringing in after playing for a side relegated from the Championship (albeit unfairly).

What am I missing here?

What you are doing is massively under selling how good 64 year old Baines was.

 

[Yarrgh]

Is the price right? Is he improving the squad suitably for the outlay? Will he help us out of the doldrums in the short to medium term? If Digne is injured could he fill that position to the required level (Europa qualification at least)? If yes, welcome back.

If it suits him money and opportunity wise then he has a compelling argument to come back.

Having said all that, is there any truth to it?

We all know that could come in the next year or two. Then he could possibly be first choice.

He’d be silly to come back. Went to play. Come back to be benched
